You will additionally need to generate the correct `microcode.rom` for the CPU
family from the private [intel-microcode] repo.
If the microcode blobs from coreboot will not be used, then `microcode.rom`

The model name used for the EC may be different from the name used for
firmware-open (e.g., `galp3-c` used for `galp4`).
